EXHIBIT 23.2

Mississippi Chemical Corporation was unable to obtain the written consent of Arthur Andersen LLP to incorporate by reference in Mississippi Chemical Corporation's registration statement (No. 33-59577) on Form S-8 Arthur Andersen LLP's report dated June 8, 2001, on the financial statements of Mississippi Chemical Corporation Thrift Plan Plus as of December 31, 2000 and 1999.
